I have tried both developer and experimental version but cannot get the flyPad push back to work? Any tips on how you managed to get it to work?

I can get the flyPad to start but can't get the push back to work as shown in the video?

Anyone managed to interact with the FlyPad in VR? It seems that the VR "bubble" would need aligning with the cockpit windows for this to work ...

And, is the text is too small. Isn't it? I have a 43 inch TV and even with the maximun zoom, the route indication are almost impossible to read.

I think that they focus on design and not on really use it.

Really? How ungrateful. These guys are improving this aircraft no end and all you can do is complain at something which is still in development. Jeez some people.

And wait for it!! FREE

Let me answer my own question 🙂

After a bit of experimentation I found out that I need to close my right eye for the mouse cursor to (sort of) align with the FlyPad, and I can then interact with it. Not ideal, but it works.

Well, actually you wrote "I think that they focus on design and not on really use it", which I read as quite rude and unjust. But well, lets concentrate on more enjoyable things. Like the FBW mod, for example.

Just because something is free doesn’t mean it can’t be criticized.

True, but considering they are doing this off their own back, a bit of respect for their efforts. If you dont like it, fly something else or turn it off.. Job done!

You also can undock the EFB by hitting Alt plus a mouse click on EFB. (This works with a US keyboard, perhaps you need another key combination, e.g. Alt+R)
